US EditionReal Madrid Dealt Blow Ahead of Club World Cup Opening Clash as Key Player Misses Training: Reports
- Real Madrid will play their first match under new manager Xabi Alonso on June 18, 2025, against Al-Hilal at the Hard Rock Stadium in the Club World Cup.
- The French striker Kylian Mbappe missed training due to illness with a fever, creating uncertainty over his participation as he remains a serious doubt for the opener.
- Mbappe was planned to start upfront alongside Vinicius in a formation close to 4-4-2, but with other forwards such as Endrick injured and unavailable, Alonso faces limited options.
- Alonso said, "We'll make a last-minute decision," noting Mbappe was "a bit better" but not fully fit, and emphasized Mbappe's vital role given the team's lack of strikers.
- Mbappe's potential absence highlights Real Madrid's need for backup forwards, and the match could test Alonso's strategy and squad depth amid injuries and absences.
